Anyone Else Get Chronic Fatigue From E. Coli Infection? Recovery?

I got E. Coli back in April of 2025 and since then have been experiencing chronic fatigue symptoms. Persistent fatigue, reduced ability to exercise and off and on dizziness, joint pain and muscle aches. Has anyone else experienced this after E. Coli, and if so, did you recover? The CFS thread is making me hopeless and I'm trying to see if there's anything else I should be doing to improve my symptoms/health. I don't have gastrointestinal symptoms anymore, but I'm still wondering if it's linked to my microbiome/gut. I did have to do 2 different rounds of antibiotics to get rid of the E. Coli which I know is hard on the gut. I eat plant based already and consume a decent variety of plants/fiber.
